In all cases, however, if a
driver neglects their duty of care to operate their vehicle in a
reasonably safe and
careful manner, and if this act of negligence causes the crash, this
driver can be held liable for any damages that result.
For example, in a motor vehicle accident case, a defendant
driver owes all other
drivers on the road to act as a
reasonably prudent and
careful driver would act under the same or similar circumstances.
